These lessons include Classifying Word Pairs, How to Make an Analogy, Classifying Analogies, Classification Analogies, Synonym and Antonym Analogies, Descriptive Analogies, Completing Analogies, and Writing Analogies. Each lesson contains exercises to ensure the material is being learned properly. An analogies game and answers are included. ~ Rachel S.
Publisher's Description of Think Analogies Level A1
Looking for an easy-to-understand method to teach analogies with plenty of practice? This 56-page book teaches students how to analyze and classify analogies by relationship, category, and structure. Students who learn strategies to make and complete analogies benefit in many ways. They sharpen their reasoning skills as they analyze the subtleties of language and relationship presented in analogies. As students learn to understand simple word analogies, they move toward understanding more complex analogous relationships presented in literature, science, and history. Analogies are also a key component of many assessment and ability tests.
Think Analogies® A1 begins with an exploration of word relationships. Students classify word groups and form pairs of related items, and then identify types of analogous relationships and classify them. Finally, they select and supply words and word pairs to complete analogies.
Students who learn strategies to make and complete analogies benefit in many ways. Analogies not only sharpen reasoning skills but are used in many assessments and ability tests. These workbooks provide exercises that give students practice with a variety of analogies. The lessons contain several easy-to-follow examples, along with exercises for practice. These lessons look at analogies in a number of different ways, including classifying word pairs, classifying analogies, comparative analogies, synonym and antonym analogies, descriptive analogies, completing analogies, and writing your own analogies. An analogies game and answers are included in both levels. ~ Rachel S.
